Mail Art Going Out Today and Inspire Me Monday!

Whew!!!  The title says it all!!  I recently joined the site for mail artists.  While I claim to be no artist, I have made some quite colorful envelopes and some quite colorful stuff on the inside!!  I am doing the random mail art thing.  I think it quite fun, especially when you don't know what is coming your way from the snail mail bag!!  I guess you could say that sending this colorful medium to people across this great planet is very inspiring. 

As you can see, I was just going to send this in black and white, but as the hours were dragging at work and I had completed everything, I decided to pull out the colored pencils and put a little color to it!!  I didn't want to color everything, so I just hit the main part of it.  I think it looks really great colored only part of the way.  I am loving the spring colors on this one.  A lucky person in Florida will be receiving this piece of mail.  Hope she likes what is on the inside of the envelope!!!

This little beauty is going to United Kingdom.  I love the fake name on here!!  In this profile, it stated that they would like for people who send mail to make up a fake name.  So, I am using the name ROADDUMMY.  I use it for a lot of things.  I stole it from my dad, who is a truck driver.  Trust me, if you ever need a screen name in any forum or message board, this one is definitely NOT taken.

And last, this little gem is going to Germany.  I feel a special connection to this country since a lot of my family came from Germany in the 1800's.  In doing my family history research, I found out that as far down as my maternal grandfather was full German.  That makes my mother half German, and then me.  Now I know where some of my personality comes from.  Anyway, I just hope all these cards find their way to their new home safe and sound.  I hope that the people who open them love them as much as I do.

I love making cards and stuff with paper.  I may not be the absolute best at it, but it is something that I love to do.  I guess you could say that I put my heart into what I do when I am creating something with paper.  So, now I am off to play with some new paper that I found.  I will have more cards to show later this week.  I am thinking about making some postcards this time.  May be a little cheaper to mail, who knows!!  Thank you for stopping by my blog.  Leave me a little message and let me know you stopped by.  I don't know, maybe a little special something to a random reader!!!!  Just be sure to leave me a way to get in touch with you just in case a little RAK (random act of kindness) wants to make it's way to your doorstep!!!!
